Budget:100$
eBay: none
Country: US
Isolation: Closed ear
Purpose: 50% music, 50% gaming, when I'm not gaming I'm listening to music.
Music Tastes: Death metal, Metal, Progressive(Rush).
Previous Experiences: I've had a pair of Astro A40's, I've been using them for the past 4 1/2 years now, and they're just warn out. I've sent them in for a repair/tuneup
Comments: I'd like a pair to replace them. I'd prefer a headset with a mic on it so I can use it with my xbox as well.

I think there are a couple of things going on here: First, the Samson is an open type of headphone, soundstage and detail oriented. It doesn't pump out the bass in other words, it's more neutral. Some people don't like that kind of sound especially if they listen to bass heavy music.

That JVC used to be the 'go to' headphone for people on a budget. But now that Panasonic 600 is the new 'go to' at that price point. I think the only advantage the JVC has over that Panasonic is it is more closed, if that's important to you.

My HARX900 seem to outperform my ATH-M50's in several games, so I was thinking of getting some Sennheiser 558's for games/movies, whilst I use my M50's solely for doing radio stuff and listening to music. Anyone have these, know if it's a good buy/I should do the 598 mode on them?

Budget: about a 100$, can go slightly over.

Budget: Under $150 (Allow about $25 for shipping)
eBay: Preferred
Country: Canada
Isolation: Closed, though an open pair wouldn't be the end of the world
Purpose: Gaming, Music, TV Shows, Music
Music Tastes: Electronic and rock
Previous Experiences: Sennheiser PX100 (Decent, though the plastic snapped after a year and a half), Koss KSC75 (I'm fairly happy with them, though I'm not a huge fan of the clip-on style), Meelectronics SP51P (Great earbuds, plenty of bass and they feel very durable)
Comments: I don't want to buy an amp, they need to be comfortable (i.e. nothing that will clamp my head) and they need to be fairly durable.

Budget: $25-35
eBay: nope
Country: Argentina
Isolation: Closed air, circumaural
Purpose: Gaming and music
Music Tastes: Pretty much everything
Previous Experiences: shitty $10 dollar headsets
Comments: I'm no audiophile, but I'd like something that didn't get uncomfortable after an hour, and didn't break after a month. It would also be good if it was a headset, or if you could recommend a clip-on mic for $10 or so. Can't use a desktop one, there's too much shit on my desktop and I move my head around too much.

I also saw the Pioneer SE-M290.
Is this a good headphone for the money or should i chose a sennheiser?
Btw, also found the Philips SHP2000, much people say that one has morefull bass (What i like) and it is 10 euro's cheaper than the sennheiser.
I also had the sennheiser on my head one time in a shop, and with the tip of my ear i can feel the inside of the earshell.

Think im gonna buy the Philips SHP2000, had a philips on ear with great bass, but the cable broke.
Btw, is there any difference in the SHP2500 and SHP2000?
Pff, another edit : Did research on the interwebs and people say the SHP2500 has a volume rocker, longer cable and much better bass.
Looks like im going for the SHP2500 :D
